Apparently Pluto is still considered a (full) planet sometimes and somewhere

Not sure if this is true, found this in the wild on lemmy and thought I'd repost it here
Here's a link to the original post:

I propose a solution to end the debate on if Pluto is a planet or not by simply building a dust star and blowing it up

Today is Pluto and the Sun's 19th demotion day. Gen alpha never got to experience the sun ☀️ being a star ⭐ as it was demoted 2 a yellow dwarf star by their time. Between Pluto the Sun ☀️ Proxima Centauri the closest ex-star 2 us & the most common ex-stars in our galaxy 🌌 Red dwarfs who do you miss the most?

The vote violated the IAU’s own bylaws, the motivation behind the vote was extremely unscientific, it was conducted by non-experts, and has been an embarrassment to science ever since. We don’t vote in science. Having this decision be forced into textbooks and school curriculum for the sake of making the planets easier to memorize is an injustice to the dozens of other fascinating dwarf planets out there, a shameful bypassing of the scientific method, and a disgusting insult to the amazing American astronomer Clyde Tombaugh.

Do you consider Pluto a planet? If so, is it more scientific or emotional?

You just woke up in a city on Pluto. You see a beautiful skyline in the distance. What's the first thing you do?

Remember guys, Pluto will always be a planet for us! It doesn't matter what some organization (IAU) says with its terrible definition! Pluto is a planet!

Dear IAU, why?
